Thread: AMD Phenom II X3 720 4 Core?

I'm going to be getting the AMD Phenom II X3 720 for the computer I'm building and I've heard something about being able to unlock a 4 core. Is this just a form of overclocking? Or are you really able to unlock anther core? And if so how do you unlock the core?

As rock makes a board that unlocks cores, but there's no guarantee that the 4th core will function properly. It may also affect overclocking. Look for a 750 or 710 Southbridge chipset and read some new egg reviews.
